My coach was always like “This is how you guys need to play, you need to play like Green. You need to have all the effort that Green brings”, and I would be like “All… all I bring is effort?” and he would be like “Yes, all you bring is effort because you’re technically terrible but you never stop running.

It’s not viable to spend a trillion dollars in government spending on unnecessary slide tackle.
The good times and the bad times both will pass. It will pass. It will get easier. But the fact that it will get easier does not mean that it doesn’t hurt now. And when people try to minimize your pain they are doing you a disservice. And when you try to minimize your own pain you’re doing yourself a disservice. Don’t do that. The truth is that it hurts because it’s real. It hurts because it mattered. And that’s an important thing to acknowledge to yourself. But that doesn’t mean that it won’t end, that it won’t get better. Because it will.
